Lip balms=love

Have I told y’all how much I love lip balms? They are such staples for me. And I have them everywhere. In every purse. In my car. In my office. In the medicine cabinet. You won’t catch me anywhere without them.

Lip balms do something that most glosses and lipsticks can not do…moisturize. And for that, I can appreciate them. Very rarely will you see me applying a gloss or lipstick without having applied a lip balm first. Many moons ago I reviewed MAC’s lip conditioner here. As you can see, I am still faithfully rocking it. But it’s not my favorite. My favorite would be Korres’ Lip butter in Jasmine.

Oh.mi.goodness. I have been using this paraben-free $10 lip butter for months. And look at that….I still have quite a bit left. I love the way it smells and it feels just divine on the lips. And then there’s Burt’s Bee’s lip balm..I’ve purchased about 3 of these. For under $3, they aren’t bad at all. Another paraben-free lip balm that delivers but I hate the packaging. It is SO hard to open. But The Merry Hempster’s lip balm isn’t.

This vegan lip balm so rocks! The peppermint flavor lasts for hours as it conditions. You can find more about this brand (sold at Whole Foods)here. They have so many different flavors. Must try them all! When I’m in the mood to be the little bee that I am, I am all over Oyin’s Honeystick.This is my third tube. I literally ate the first two. Nah, I’m kidding. But aside from loving to support wonderful Jamyla and family, I just love the way the Honeystick feels and tastes. And when I want people to give me the double look and ask “WTF is that?” I pull out this kid.The organic EOS lip balm in its spherical wonderment just looks cool, uh? One glide and I can conquer both the top and bottom lips at the same time. It is shea butter based and was a gift from Mommy.

Oyin's honeystick and their coffee flavored balm are my FAVORITES!I also use some balm from Bath and Body Works that I got when I was in high school (yes, 10+ years ago). All of the writing has worn off the squeeze tube so I have no idea what brand it is. lol

The MAC one is HORRIBLE! I was not expecting it to be that sweet, I hate flavored balms lol. I was extremely allergic to it. I threw it out. Sucks! My favorite is Nivea a Kiss of Moisture

Another lip balm addict over here! I always use good old Vaseline.

I bought the famous Kiehl's lip balm and didn't like at all! Runny and with a funny taste… bad!

I love the Burt's Bees in the tube…I have one in my car, one in my purse, one next to my bed, one in my bathroom. It is the only lip balm I have ever repurchased.I also have the Korres lip butter in Pomegranate and I really like the way it makes my lips feel, but I'm just not a huge fan of dipping my finger into a pot.

Oooo…you said the magic words! Lip Balm! I am a complete addict! Lip balms are all over my house – and every purse has at least 3 tubes. Its out of control. But who doesn't want soft lips? I love the Korres lip butter, the Jasmine color doesn't look too pretty on me, but I mix it with other things.I have found a lot of fun lip balms to try on Etsy…you might check that out, AND….You simply MUST try this company…http://www.mylipstuff.com/its vegan, and the amount of flavors to choose from is simply mind boggling. AND, they are from my good ol' state of Delaware. Fist pump!

I'm a lip balm addict too. My favourite are Labello lip balms. They comes in a lot of different flavours and are very moisturizing.

Nicole

I'm a total lip balm addict! Love that stuff. I have so many different kinds but I keep going back to my Burt's Bees – I love the tub myself, but you did know you can get it in the tube, if you prefer that??

Ashwini

Great post! I have been using my Merle Norman Super Lube for like 10 years now and finally hit pan. Where is the Korres balm available?

Umm Amirah

I'm OCD when it comes to LIPS!…I like CARMAX lip balm in Cherry..I have about 3 of them. Car, purse, dresser, side table…you name it..one is there.

I will have to try the KORRES one. I LOVE honey sticks…all for the OYIN. Will have to check out that Whole Foods one soon.

Love the post.

I LOVE Rosebud salve.sooo freakin awesome, really does the job!

Connie De Alwis

I would definitely love to try the Korres lip balmthe vegan one looks great too!I have the eos one but haven't used it yet.

sabrina

I like C.O Bigelow. I have tubes everywhere and have a cow when I can't find one!

After reading your eview I decided to go out and buy some of the EOS lip balm. It looked just so cool that I couldnt pass it up. I got it in the summer fruit, and to be honest, I really don't like the smell very much. It smells like watermelon gum, which a lot of people like but I just don't. It doesn't very long either but hey, half the fun is putting it on and someone doing a double take, right?

Karatefan—> Okay, try the mint one. It is a little tastier and leaves that tingly feeling. Mine lasts for quite some time. Although I usually use it under another gloss. My lips are SUPA dry, yo.

Asia

I am excited about the Korress one, I'm running this weekend to get some

**Ashwinni, Korress is sold at Sephora..I just called the one where I live (in CT) to make sure that they're in stock

Thanks B! Luvs ya

Serikiyo

AHHHH!!! I love burts bees products! 😀

My favorite lip balm is C.O.Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine from Bath and Body Works. I love mint flavors and the menthol feels so cool and refreshing!

eat me outta here!

I LOVE carmex in the tub and lip medex in the tub. Burt's Bees medicated lip balm in the tube is also great.

Ali

I am a lip balm fiend! I love the mint Blistex in a tube or the new lip massage one. The lip medex are the vaseline lip therapy tubes are great. Burt's Bees tends to dry out my lips after using it too long.

Packing her a nice goody bag of lipsticks. I'm the same way if you visit my house. NO ONE leaves empty-handed. Beauty goodies for all!

2 days agoby clumpsofmascaraI neeeed time to myself. Marriage and parenthood did not change this. Every morning, I wake up earlier than everyone else. And just be. No demands. No rushing. I do what I want. I sip my tea and pray and read and polish my nails. Or I do nothing. It does SO much for my sanity and peace. Mamas and daddies, give it a try. - [NOTE] This likely doesn't work with newborns. Those tiny humans own every fiber of your being. Happy Friday!
